So I'm not feeling too hot today. I have been feeling my body trying to fend off an impending cold, fever and chills since Sunday and it finally gave in!!

Even so, I refuse to be sick - I don't like being sick and after my two classes today, I spent time resting and trying to drink fluids.

What I do know, however, is that when I do get sick (which isn't often) my body is telling me that it needs to rest and rejuvenate. It's moments like these that I can really see my mindful practice at work.

I try to practice mindfulness everyday and with that practice, my sense of self-awareness grows. I continue to strive to be in-tune with my body and its needs. That is an awesome feeling.

Self-Awareness is just one wonderful outcome of practicing Mindfulness.

Have you had a moment to yourself today? If not, why not now? I've posted a great 5 minute Breathing Meditation from UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center (MARC). Click ﻿here﻿ for more free guided meditations!
